The Helpmate

In some ways a successful political leader may be captain of his fate, but in many matters he takes orders from his mate. A few men have foresight, but all women have insight and the corridors of Congress are crowded with ambitious women pushing their husbands ahead. No woman makes a fool of a man, but many of them have made a man of a fool. Lobbyists stand in awe of feminine intuition, that womanly way of reading between the lies . . . and they speak of Solomon as the wisest guy in antiquity because he had the advice of so many. Another school of thought advances the theory that God made women last because He didn’t want any advice while He was creating man.

Our guest today is living proof that there is always a chance that a woman will give a man an opportunity to develop his natural capacities, and he’ll take it.

Royalty

Some of us look with disdain upon royalty’s unearned gains, a reaction Elizabeth dispelled when she moved among us and captured our affections by proving herself every inch a Queen.

Royal rank involves infinitely more than acknowledging curtsies and adulation; there’s an endless devotion to endless duties that demand more self-discipline than most of us could muster. In her royal capacity a Queen endures the strain of smiling until her muscles tremble from fatigue and she suffers exhausting hours when she stands supported by two tired feet. The wear and tear of being the constant center of attention is tremendous; pomp, protocol and tradition forbid her the freedoms of the ordinary girl who can powder her nose, straighten her hose, and slip a cramped toe from her patent pump.

Harry Truman used a folksy expression before Elizabeth ascended to the throne. He smiled when he met her and said, “Ever since I was a boy I’ve dreamed of seeing a pretty princess-and here she is!”
